Lab 2 Micrometer Instruments Prerequisite: Chapter 7, Micrometer Instruments Introduction: The increased precision of mi
LAB 5 21 Name: Date: EXERCISE 1 Observation: Familiarize yourself with the micrometers provided for this lab exercise. Your instructor will review the proper procedure for their use, the measurement technique, and how to read the instrument's measurement. Follow your instructor's instructions for verifying the zero point on your micrometer. Practice using a one inch, two inch, and/or three-inch micrometer. EXERCISE 2 Calibration: Using a one-inch gage block, take three readings to check the accuracy of the instrument. Compare your readings with those of other students. Are their variations? Did all students measure the same gage block? What are the possible reasons for variations, if any? EXERCISE 3 Measurements: Measure and record all the dimensions of three metal cubes, keeping a detailed record of which measurement corresponded to a specific dimension using your assigned micrometer. Each measurement should be taken four times. Perform a statistical analysis to determine the mean, median, and mode for each dimension. Calculate the standard deviation or repeatability for the instrument used. 22 LAB 5 EXERCISE 4 Join up with your group of students, and using the same micrometer, repeat Exercise 3. This time calculate the standard deviation based on your group of users. Compare the standard deviation from Exercises 3 and 4 and explain why there is variation.
22 LAB 5 EXERCISE 4 Join up with your group of students, and using the same micrometer, repeat Exercise 3. This time calculate the standard deviation based on your group of users. Compare the standard deviation from Exercises 3 and 4 and explain why there is variation. REPORT Submit your findings for Exercises 1 - 4. Use the following sections to create your detailed report. Objective: Equipment used:
Environmental: Procedure: Data: Conclusion: You i may find it beneficial to use a spreadsheet format with statistical capabilities to compare your hand-calculated values with the software's analysis.
